I am annoyed by this question, or rather, by the fact that this library student decided to contact a geek culture blog about answering it.

Do your own damned homework. THINK about the question. Conduct a proper reference interview with the professor (which will win you points, guaranteed, because that is what every librarian MUST do before answering a complex reference question). Read a book about being an awesome librarian.

If all else fails, contact librarian.net or an actual librarian with a web presence. But Boing Boing? Really? Have they not yet learned about credibility of sources?
